the dinosaurs eveloed after millions of years. the fisrt creatures were one celled orginisms that lived in the ocean, on land there were walking fish millions of years after words. as for the church i personally believe that they only say adam and eve were first beceause that is what they said in the times before science and in order to be stable and not changing they have not change their doctorin (or that part of it) to go with the modern world. they are stuck in the past. basiclly adam and eve is their mthoology. but that's what i think about religion. you can decide for yourself on that one.

Dinosaurs weren't event the first creatures on this earth, over a period of time the dinosaurs evolved from organisms which would be considered the first living things on this earth. I guess Dinosaurs were first since there is no evidence of this "garden" of Eden. There is evidence although on dinosaurs.Science so trumps religion! When you find Adam's skeleton, let me know.

Actually, the dinosaurs were relative latecomers to the earth. There were at least four mass extinctions before they ever appeared.
The Adam & Eve story is just a myth - a metaphor designed to teach a lesson but not meant to be taken literally.

Sylki was right; plants and animals came into existence before man. There was no reckoning of time then as we know it today, for during the entire creation, each day for God equals a thousand years for us today.
Yes, dinosaurs existed before man.
We don't know how much time transpired exactly from the animal creation until Adam and Eve came along except for what it says in the Bible and on the sixth day.
Nonetheless, we certainly don't know how much time went by before the fall of Adam for they were eternal beings until they transgressed the commandment given of God. There was no reckoning of time for earth and all its inhabitants until after the fall of our first parents. The earth and everything in it changed when Adam and Eve became true mortal beings and could then taste pain and death.
The earth changed from a terrestrial kingdom into a telestial world.

To answer that question, using the bible reference, it would be the dinosaurs.
God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th day. He created animals on the 5th day and created man on the 6th day (so man wouldn't try to take credit for all that was created) He, God, also gave man dominion over all the other creatures on earth) One day for God, was not as our 24 hour (man counted) days. One day could be around a thousand years . . .

I believe neither. It's something one celled. Much smaller than a dinosaur or a human :)

Actually, they've found human and dinosaur footprints side by side but they put a parking lot on top of them.

eh...i would say dinosaurs because we actually have PROOF that they were there. We don't have proof that adam and eve were there...it's just in a book written by someobody.

neither. It was most likely many sigle celled organisms which spawned evolution
